It's all a load of Cannonballs in here! This is the virtual Arsenal pub where you can chat about anything except football. Be warned though, like any pub, the content may not always be suitable for everyone.

I like going over to Chelmsford once a year or so and enjoying a days play. It's seriously relaxing. A few tins, cucumber sandwiches, deck chair and a days cricket. What more could you ask for.

Having said that, I'd swap it for 3 minutes inside Kelly Brook and the rest of the day up to my armpits in runny shite. :lol: :wink:


We have baseball. No need for cricket. :-P


Oh yeah the world series which nobody outside of america competes in. :wink: :wink:

That's because we are the world :wink: :wink:
In your own little world more like :wink:

Rounders is an official game of the GAA. I've no idea were it originated from though.

http://www.gaa.ie/page/other_activities.html

Rounders
Rounders is one of the four official GAA sports. Along with Gaelic Football, Hurling and Handball, Rounders was included in the original GAA charter back in 1884. Rounders is a bat and ball game and is not that dis-similar to baseball.


Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Does REAL BASEBALL mean you have to get drugged up to the gills on steroids before playing? :lol:

Actually thats quite a good thing come to think of it, because they're all mentally unstable on account of the 'roids they can just beat the crap out of eachother the moment anything controversial happens!

I think real baseball is what the players do with their sticks and balls in the dressing rooms after the other baseball games finish. :shock:

The game here played by women and children is "soccer" :evil: . Wish that would change, but that is highly unlikely :(
